The surname Willet, of Irish descent, has a rich history that dates back centuries. It is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Giolla Mhichil, which means "son of the servant of St. Michael." The name was originally associated with the O'Malley clan, who were prominent in County Mayo in western Ireland.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Irish surnames were anglicized. The Mac Giolla Mhichil name underwent this transformation and eventually became Willet. The spelling variations of the surname include Willot, Willott, and Willitt.
The Willet surname has spread across the country over the years, with descendants of the O'Malley clan taking the name and establishing themselves in different regions of Ireland. Some Willet families can be traced back to counties such as Mayo, Galway, and Roscommon.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many Irish people emigrated to other countries, including the United States. This led to the spread of the Willet surname beyond Ireland's borders. Today, there are Willet families scattered across the United States, Canada, and other parts of the world.
The history of the Willet surname reflects the complex tapestry of Irish history and the influence of English colonization. It has evolved and adapted over time, but its Irish origins remain a significant part of its identity.
